audio via the Internet, allowing you to monitor the on-site voice.
Day & Night Surveillance Supported
The six Infrared LEDs around the standard lens assembly

take snapshots via the network.
Multiple Platforms Supported
The camera supports multiple network protocols, including
TCP/IP, SMTP e-mail, HTTP, and other Internet related
protocols. Therefore, you can use the camera in a mixed
operating system environment, such as Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Window Vista.
Multiple Applications Supported
Through the remote access technology, you can use the
cameras to monitor various objects and places for your own
purposes.
For example, babies at home, patients in the hospital, offices
